 Court Notes.
 This story comes from Waterbury: Leon N. Moreaus, late proprietor of the Spencer House, at South Spencer, Mass, has been a prisoner at the station house here since Sun day. The requisition was signed by the Governors of Massachusetts and Connecticut directing his return to the Bay State to an- swer the charge of liquor nuisance. While he kept hotel there he says 8 hired man was searched one day and bottle of whisky was found on his person, the evidence of which indicted Moreaus, as stated. He ap- pealed from the decision of the lower court and gave bonds of $500. He skipped his bail and went to Canada, remaining eighteen months. He was arrested Sunday, but re- mained in custody until 10 o'clock to-day, pending hearing on the habeas corpus, which was to dispute the right and wisdom of a Connecticut Governor to sign the requi- sition in case so trivial. Moreaus' counsel finally to-day made compromise with the authorities at South Spencer, represented by J. R. Kane of the Law and Order league, and the prisoner returned on condition that he be given 90 days in jail and $76 costs. State Attorney Doolittle was informed late yester- day afternoon that the case had been settled.

 A PECULIAR CASE.
 Professor Johnson T. Platt yesterday tried William Andrews of Bridgeport, an ex-letter carrier, who is charged with negligence in
  and papers from their proper destination. The driver of a fire engine testified that about June 30 Andrews left large package of letters with them, and in one instance he left package of mail under a box at French's market He was appointed last August. Postmaster Meeker had long talk with Andrews in January and told him he would have to reform in regard to drinking habits or lose his place, and it was claimed that he did much better for long time. In II a1,o1e A~,I xl,1AI | membered nothing about the matter, and if he did make such an error it was on account of sickness which he had that caused all loss of memory and made him so dizzy that he did not know where he was. This came out in hot weather. Dr. James Bragg, whose office was on Andrews route, testified that An drews had come to him 8 number of times suffering in this manner. His trouble was caused by an overabundance of blood, and hot weather caused a pressure of it to the head, which produced loss of memory, dig ziness, etc. This trouble made Andrews al- ways have the appearance of being intoxi- cated and hard thinker, but he never saw any signs of intoxication about him. Sev- eral other doctors and witnesses testified similarly. District Attorney Stanton de- sired the case continued to give him chance to get evidence that Andrews trouble was drunkenness instead of sickness and the case was continued until September 28. Andrews \ is out on bond of $500.
